KC Streetcar Riverfront Extension

It's more than just track; bus stop improvements are here! Part of the @kcstreetcar Riverfront Extension project included new bus pads and shelters on Front St./Berkley Pkwy. 🚌 We love to see such a coordinated effort to improve our transit experience in Kansas City! 🤩

Who's attending @thekccurrent home opener Saturday?! ⚽️ As a reminder, pedestrians & bicyclists should use the Town of Kansas Bridge to access Berkley Riverfront until the new bike/pedestrian bridge opens. Check out this how to video for those cycling to the game! @kcstreetcar

Dreaming about the day we can all ride our bikes on the brand new bike/pedestrian bridge with a @kcstreetcar driving by us. 🚲 🚶 We are getting so close to #RollingtotheRiver… who’s ready to ride? 🤩

New glass, who this? 🤩 We are obsessed with how these new @kcstreetcar shelters are looking! And we love seeing all the new development happening around us. 👀 Another step to #RollingtotheRiver

Game-changing newfound connectivity to our riverfront is fast approaching!! 🚊🚴‍♀️🚶🚶‍♀️🚶🏽‍♂️ @kcstreetcar @kcriverfront @KansasCity @portkc @RideKCTransit

While @kcstreetcar Riverfront Extension crews had to remove bricks from the sidewalk on Grand Boulevard, they made sure to take the time yesterday to reset each one. We appreciate your patience as we work to start #RollingtotheRiver. 🌊

The sidewalk on the west side of Grand Blvd. will also close to accommodate this work. The sidewalk will reopen by end of day Fri., 2/27.

Road Closure Alert! Grand Blvd. will close tomorrow, 2/24, from 3rd St.-4th St. to install conduit. This work will take ~2 weeks, weather permitting. @kcstreetcar service will NOT be impacted! Local access is allowed via 5th St.

Happy Lunar New Year! 🤩 Our friends at Chinatown Market will be celebrating this Sunday, Feb. 22 starting at 1pm. Celebrate the new year while supporting a local business along @kcstreetcar line. 🎉

The @kcstreetcar Riverfront Extension is 99% constructed, but we're not done yet! As crews work on the finishing touches of construction, keep an eye out as we move into the testing phase, with streetcars driving on the new tracks. 🚊 One step closer to #RollingtotheRiver 🌊

You may notice something new along the riverfront 👀 Over the past month, @kcstreetcar Riverfront Extension crews have been adding new signage along the route. A friendly reminder to always look both ways before crossing the tracks in Berkley Riverfront! #RollingtotheRiver

It’s the end of December which means it’s time for another Tiny Mic 🎤 This month, we have even more to celebrate as the first @kcstreetcar rolls into Berkley Riverfront! We’re thrilled to be part of KC history. Stay tuned for the next Tiny Mic update! #RollingtoRiver

@kcstreetcar And of course, our team couldn’t resist making Clarence extra stylish. 😎 Now that we’ve moved on to live-wire testing with streetcars, we won’t be seeing Clarence as often, but we still love you, Clarence! 💙

Clarence was such a cool addition to the @kcstreetcar Riverfront Extension team that he deserves another shoutout! The construction team built Clarence for dead-wire testing, helping ensure streetcars safely clear surrounding structures.

Happy Holidays from the @kcstreetcar Riverfront Extension team! Crews will be off today and tomorrow to celebrate with their friends and family. We hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday season! #RollingtotheRiver

Don’t forget: tonight is the Riverfront Rally at The Blue Line! Come talk with the team, ask questions, and meet a special guest for photos 👀 (Hint: he’s orange and may have been featured in a recent post 🤗)

@kcstreetcar This is just the first step. Testing will continue, allowing the team to make necessary adjustments to ensure the system is safe for passengers in 2026! 🚊 #RollingtotheRiver

ICYMI: The first streetcar has officially made it to Berkley Riverfront as part of the first day of testing the @kcstreetcar Riverfront Extension. This marks a historic milestone - the first time a streetcar has ever been to Berkley Riverfront in Kansas City history. 🎉

We’re welcoming some slightly warmer weather here in Kansas City! It's just another great day on the @kcstreetcar Riverfront Extension. ☀️ #RollingtotheRiver

@kcstreetcar Clarence is built to mimic a standard KC Streetcar vehicle and is used to ensure the streetcar will have enough space to travel safely past buildings, poles, and other structures. #RollingtotheRiver

Introducing Clarence the clearance cart! 🤩 The @kcstreetcar Riverfront Extension team designed and constructed this cart specifically for the future extension.
